Noah and Kaleb are best friends growing up in hard times. They live on adjoining farms, and both families are suffering greatly. Kaleb's dad has died, leaving Kaleb to take on the role of the provider at just seventeen years of age; the weight of caring for his five siblings and his mom is staggering. Noah, at only fourteen, has witnessed the daily verbal and physical abuse of his mother at the hands of his drunken step-dad. They realize that life on the farm is not an option. They must go where the jobs are. They must reach a small coastal village and secure jobs as fishermen. Trouble is, they have no money, no supplies, and have never been past their own gates. Noah full of youthful exuberance and is eager to begin their adventure, while Kaleb has reservations. After danger and exhaustion threaten their progress, they finally arrive at the village and secure jobs on a boat. Their happiness is shattered when tragedy strikes. Their promise to stay together forever is tested, and they begin to drift apart. As their lives take drastically different paths, they seem to accept that time and circumstances may weaken their bond. They have no idea their paths will cross many years later. Following the lives of each boy, we are introduced to their families and life choices. As their paths twist and turn, their stories lead the reader to a stunning reunion that is unexpected and almost magical.
Nearly one hundred years after the famine in Ireland, twin boys were born in Ireland in a workhouse convent. One was adopted and was taken to America as an infant, and the other was placed with the mother’s sister, Bridgid. Bridgid and her husband, John Brown, lived on a small farm. The boy was raised by the Brown family and was given the name “Peter Brown.” Patrick and Teresa Prown, a family from the USA, had gone to Ireland, visited the convent and felt blessed to be able to adopt a baby boy. They named him “Peter Prown.” The Prown’s brought Peter back to their home in Bryn Mawr, USA. Peter Prown went to school in the United States and Peter Brown went to school in Ireland. Both boys often wondered to themselves if they would ever meet another close relative.
Constitutional scholar Clint Bolick examines the importance of judicial nominations in current and future political campaigns—not just in campaigns for president but also for the senators who confirm the nominees and the governors who appoint state court judges. He offers his opinion of the framers' original intentions—that the judiciary play a robust role in curbing abuses of government power and protecting individual rights—and provides both a historical perspective and a look at the courts' decisions on today's most contentious issues.

Sarafino and his girl Friday, Molly Preston, become involved in a mystery that takes them from Orlando, Florida, to London, England, and to Lhasa, Tibet, and has them dealing with a beautiful antiques dealer, a shady insurance agent, and a tough and dedicated police chief who is not afraid to bend the law to get results.

With just the right flourish of his pen, author James Street takes his readers for a walk in the footsteps of the men and women who populated the small towns and piney woods of his beloved home state, Mississippi. Street turns his singular experiences into moving and thought provoking universal truths — seeing beyond tarnished exteriors to the treasures within, the enduring legacy of selflessness, the making of champions, and the capacity of all, no matter what age, no matter how humble, to find and lose love. Each story is introduced by a note from the author — gems of thought and background information that further enhance the timeless contents of this collection. These short stories were originally published in such magazines as Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, and The American Magazine. This collection includes the original short stories, The Biscuit Eater and Weep No More My Lady which were later expanded into two of Mr. Street's most famous and well-loved books. Included: • The Golden Key • In Full Glory Reflected • The Old Gordon Place • Weep No More, My Lady • Please Come Home, My Lady • Buck and Fo' Bits • The Crusaders • Pud'n and Tayme • They Know How • The Road To Gettysburg • All Out With Sherman • Set the Wild Echoes Flying • The Biscuit Eater • The House

The cultural fantasy of twins imagines them as physically and behaviorally identical. Media portrayals consistently offer the spectacle of twins who share an insular closeness and perform a supposed alikeness--standing side by side, speaking and acting in unison. Treating twinship as a cultural phenomenon, this first comprehensive study of twins in American literature and popular culture examines the historical narrative--within the discourses of experimentation, aberrance and eugenics--and how it has shaped their representations in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Stanford Rome and Shelley Lester were boyhood best friends growing up in Twofer County, South Georgia. As men, they went their separate ways but stayed in touch. Now, both live in Atlanta. Stanford Rome is managing partner of his top-notch Certified Public Accounting firm of Rome, Kelsey, and Lang, CPAs. Shelley Lester is a decorated war hero, who refused to accept the Medal of Honor for “killing colored people for my country.” Now, he’s a strong-arm working exclusively for the governor. He also patrols the mean streets of Atlanta, where it’s rumored that Shelley has disappeared just as many killers and murderers during the peace in Atlanta as he killed enemy soldiers during the war in Vietnam. Four months earlier, Stanford’s wife and son were murdered in Twofer County. Despite enormous pressure from the governor and other political elites, the many investigations have stalled and wound down to one skeleton crew. But Shelley keeps doggedly hunting clues into the murders of Stanford’s wife and son—his godson. Stanford, guilt-ridden with numbing sadness, takes a leave of absence from his CPA firm to do his own investigation, if only to keep the peace with himself. Meanwhile, two women roll out battle plans to wage war on Stanford and his peace. Her name is Candice Bergens, and she’s a sniper for hire. She owns a “Styles by Candy” beauty salon in each of the eleven cities where she’s killed a man. Now she has a contract on Stanford and will kill him with her bullets and her gun. Her name is Jocelyn Slade, and she’s a WTNT-TV News evening anchor; the “darling of Atlanta’s airwaves”. She has a crush on Stanford and wants to seduce him with her sex and her charm. Jocelyn’s intelligence is matched only by her ruthlessness—and her beauty. She’s as great a danger to Stanford as the sniper. And then there’s the larger-than-life QueenBee, watching patiently, allowing law enforcement to do its thing. The law failed. Now she will do her thing. QueenBee is South Georgia royalty, the matriarch of Twofer County, and Stanford’s grandmother. QueenBee knows something about the murders no one else knows. She will find the mastermind of the murders and fetch him to Twofer County to face her kangaroo court and her brand of South Georgia payback disguised as justice. Her vengeful search starts in Chicago 800 miles away, and her search ends in the deep backwoods of Twofer County where a small plane crashed and burned--35 years ago. The characters are up to their necks in this story of unrequited love and unrequited hate, of self-deception and deceit, of bald-faced lies and half-truths, and most of all, of blind loyalty and misplaced trust. And lurking in the shadows is Frank, tiptoeing along that thin line between Jazz and South Georgia Blues.
When God is used as a weapon, nothing is sacred. The Samuel-226 PatriotRangers are one of the most successful units in the Holy Legion of the UNAC. They have never lost a man, until one of their brothers, Twofer, disappears during a training exercise. The Host, self-proclaimed reincarnations of Christ, tell them that Twofer has been Saved and taken to Yetzirah, the promised land of the Nephilim. This, like many things the Host tells its slaves, is a lie. The leader of Samuel-226, Alpha, becomes obsessed with finding his missing soldier. Without his leadership, the medic, Mike, fights to hold the squad together as it is wracked by conspiracy and fear. As the horrific truth unfolds, the squad begins to question everything they know... but as Mike soon learns, even knowing the truth is a revolutionary act, and even if it remains unspoken, God is always listening. God Has Heard is military science-fiction told up close and personal: a dark war story of martyrdom and ultimate triumph, brotherhood and dignity in the face of total oppression. With echos of 1984 and Saving Private Ryan, it is a short, intense, thought-provoking read. If you are Christian, this book will probably offend you.
